Isn't it simply because of race?

How many artillery shells one needs to expend to hit anything? I bet more than 10. And they are pricier AND endanger people who use them, more. Mortar shells (80mm class) are cheaper, but mortars need to be compared to drone-dropped munitio

Perhaps it was indeed my personal thing. Maybe it's just that i'm introverted? But i'd hate to be bugged when in a cafe and if it ever happened (it never did), i'd probably stop visiting that particular place seeing it a

Problem isn't with people who are in prison. Problem is with people who are out of prison with prison experience - most of them are thoroughly criminalised for life. So one should count people who served serious time behind bars, and n

Surprisingly good result on a surprisingly low budget. I totally didn't expect a European company to make it. If it phoned home after reentry it means the hard part is done.

I really can't imagine how it could probably ever work. So one goes into Starbucks and start bugging other random people sitting there (with whatever topic, not just pushing their "elevator pitch" onto them)? If that happened

This is more or less obvious. Business is quite a binary thing. It either works or not. If it does you more or less don't care what the taxes are. If it doesn't, you care even less.

In a democratic society, it is natural that building new houses becomes incredibly hard once a bit more than 50% of voters are happy with their housing situation. In a way, it may be a sign of democratic backslide when housing is still buil

Totally so! Using PHP in production means: - The employer organisation is incompetent, or they won't be doing it - They are also rich, or they'd be bankrupt trying to do it. Both are good signs if you are looking for a job there.

I think this is about as simple as overall left vs right debate which it is a part of. There is no "right" or "wrong" here, just "right" and "left". It's a matter of who wins, and both sides have

Apparently, after 2021 upgrades, it does. Videos of Iron Dome use have been posted multiple times in the last days and Israel was only under attack from Iran ballistic missiles.

by anovikov 1y ago
Oh that's not a lot at all. A single Iron Dome battery has 60-80 missiles and of course no one is going to launch entire barrage in one place at once (plus, overall stocks of missiles can't be high, i mean even Russia can't m

That's my whole point: it DOES have to do with distance because any ballistic missile that can fly that far away, is bound to be large and expensive. One can't launch too many of them - especially not in short order because instal

by anovikov 1y ago
There's no saturation attack when missiles are launched from a very long distance like from Iran, and are thus by their nature big and expensive. Distance is also not long enough to give enough time for MIRV to properly work. Big quest

Get off the butt of the unfortunate old people already. Tobacco eradication is virtually complete in Australia. It's just the old people who smoked all life and can't quit who's left. They have enough trouble in their lives t

If you were an early boomer born in 1946, you saw all of the 1966-1982 bear market - and by 36 probably didn't save shit because there was nothing worthwhile to invest into. Sure, stock market performance after that compensated for tha

The chart understates it. Since 1990 when the death rate started falling, median age in the US rose from 32.9 to 38.5 years and vast majority of cancers are age-correlated. So we are speaking of at least 2x age-corrected decline, if not mor

I probably agree with that one. Indeed, it's a bit of a "too much of a good thing" by now.

But this is natural. In every society, vast majority are the exploited poor, and always have been. It shouldn't stop them from multiplying.

For CITIZENS, all of them do. Naturally in UAE there are few citizens. I have no idea why temporary, non immigrant foreigners should be entitled to free anything. There is no naturalization in UAE, you can't ever get citizenship regard

"school fees" - this is very, very symptomatic. Public school is free in all countries of the world without exception. Private, paid schools cover 1-20% of kids depending on the country. But now, everyone wants their kid to be amo

Isn't this the case with any invention that greatly improves productivity? Ask early 1800s English textile workers. Their wages did not return back to late 1700s peak, inflation adjusted, till WWI. Does that mean that mechanisation of

Big question - why doesn't 1% tax cut it any longer? Today's workers are definitely not sicker than those in the XVIII century because workplace safety standards, and understanding of diseases themselves, is so much better. Is it

So the decline of population growth from 2.2% per year in the 1960s peak to 1% now and 0% projected 60 years from now means exactly the same decline of return of investments. I can't see it as a big problem at all. Economy is growing n

I think deep inside of people, the truly miraculous drugs like GLP-1 are subconsciously rejected because they are seen as an attempt to cheat God.

My opinion on this matter is that in the Good Old Days, that is before LLMs, frontend development was just more laborious for average, run of the mill business web and mobile projects. There were several frontend developers needed for one b

Crimes of opportunity almost by definition do not involve risk assessment. They happen on an impulse, most often by mentally unstable people. Crime is hard to understand. Almost no one actually understands it especially not those who preten

Ironically, GLP-1 causes a great improvement in kidney and liver function too, and studies are ongoing for a multitude of other weight-unrelated (as well as related) diseases. Everyone should be on it. Benefits for non-overweight people wit

It will certainly have a side effect of attracting bums. Just as park benches and other things people in the community tend to fight against, or even vandalise themselves to prevent them from becoming bum magnets.
